Pastoral Care System

Student Pastoral Care

In keeping with the tradition of the Presentation Order, the Pastoral Care Programme of Colaiste na Toirbhirte aims to promote the well-being of the individual within the School community. To ensure its effectiveness, the following supports are in place.

• Each year group has a Year Head whose role is to ensure the smooth organisation of that year group
• Each class has a Class Tutor who aspires to meet the needs of the student in the class context
• We have a supportive chaplain, Fr. John O’Donovan. Members of the RE team, staff and the school chaplain meet regularly
• Counselling is an integral part of the Pastoral Care system.  The school counsellor is available to support students in need.
• Social, Personal and Health Education Programme aims towards development of all aspects of the individual student
• The Meitheal Programme enables senior students to act as mentors to First Years
• Supervised study for students four evenings a week
• Study skills programmes are ongoing for all students
• The Year Heads and Care Team meet on a weekly basis.
